Real Sociedad vs Osasuna will take place at Anoeta in the Copa del Rey on February 6. Both teams will lock horns in the quarter-final of this competition.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Osasuna away from home. The match ended in a 2-1 win for the home side, which was Real Sociedad’s fourth consecutive defeat against Osasuna.
This will be a great opportunity for the Basque team to take revenge from Osasuna as if they beat the away team they will progress to the semifinal of the competition. Even though in head-to-head Real Sociedad has a better record than Osasuna they have improved a lot in the last few years and they are a good team. The last time when Real Sociedad defeated Osasuna was in Copa del Rey only and once against the Basque team will look to do the same.
In the last five games, Real Sociedad has lost four games and won only one. Their win came against PAOK as they won the game by 2-0. Due to their poor form, the home team will be a bit worried about their performance against Osasuna in the upcoming fixture but they will have to give their all to get a positive result and make their fans happy.
Osasuna has been impressive this season at home, but that’s not the case when they play away from home. Till now their performance has been inconsistent and surely they will look to perform well in the upcoming fixtures.
Despite facing many issues on and off the pitch beating Real Sociedad is not a problem for them. They have been a big headache for the team from Basque and surely they will look to continue their winning run against them. They will have to execute the plan very well just like they did a few days ago to beat Sociedad.
In La Liga, they played 22 games out of which seven they won, nine ended in a draw and in six matches they lost the game. Currently, they find themselves in the eighth spot with 30 points on the table. In the last five games, they have won two games, drawn two and lost one. They suffered a loss against Atletico Madrid as the match ended in a 1-0 scoreline for the Roje Blancos. Osasuna will be confident of getting a good result away from home for sure and this will be a mouthwatering clash.

Key Players to Watch in Real Sociedad vs Osasuna
Martin Zubimendi (Real Sociedad)
With the ball, he can control the tempo and rhythm of deeper build-up, where he is comfortable receiving against pressure. His subtle movements see him drift away from opponents, giving him more time as he receives the ball. He typically finds teammates with passes at an optimal angle, ideal weight and on the correct foot. He is aggressive, assertive and fully committed to leaving his space or man to compete for possession. For the majority of his career, he has operated in a single-pivot role.
In 21 games he has scored once and provided one assist. In the last five games, he took three shots out of which none were on the target and generated only 0.2 xG. He attempted three take-ons but only one was successful in the last five matches and he also made nine blocks during this fixture.
Aimar Oroz (Osasuna)
Oroz is a product of Osasuna’s academy and he has been part of them for the last ten years. He played for the second team for four years and was promoted to the first team due to his top performance. Oroz also represented Spain at U-21 and U-23 at international level. He is an attacking midfielder who likes to drift to the wings and likes to have freedom on the pitch. Oroz has great vision and passing ability through which he can find teammates from any part of the pitch.
In 22 games, he scored twice and provided one assist. In the last five games, he generated 0.8 xG and out of 17 take-ons he completed nine successfully. Just like the last fixture, he will have to deliver a performance to help his team progress into the next round.
Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Prediction
In the last few fixtures, Osasuna has been the better team against Real Sociedad and just a few days ago they defeated them and will look to do the same in the Copa del Rey. The team from Basque do have players who can get them the results but still, this will be a tough fixture for sure. This fixture will be a close one for sure but most probably the away team will progress into the next round.
